‘Preseason is a waste of time’

So says Roy Williams, who made it clear he isn’t looking forward to Thursday’s exhibition opener at Oakland. His distaste for the preseason came up when I asked him if he thought the connection he’s forged with Tony Romo lately in practice will definitely carry over to the preseason.

“It’s just preseason,” the former Texas star said. “We’re still continuing to work in practice and that’s where it counts. We are going to get better for Week 1. Preseason helps, but it’s kind of like a waste of time to me, but it helps a little bit.

“The first game, what do you play a series or two? The second game you play a little bit more. Third game you treat it like a game. Fourth game you don’t even play. So, it’s helpful, but it’s a waste of time. It’s too long, put it that way.

“For the younger guys, it’s more important because they are going to play the most. They are the ones who are going to be evaluated.”

Spin it anyway you want, Roy, but all eyes will be you and Romo throughout the preseason.
